En: Under the autumn sky, surrounded by the colors of red, orange, and yellow leaves, jezero Bled looked like something out of a fairy tale. Sl: Neža, oborožena s svojim fotoaparatom, je želela ujeti lepoto tega prizora. En: Neža, armed with her camera, wanted to capture the beauty of this scene. Sl: Bil je pozni oktober, ko se je narava ob jezeru kazala v vsej svoji veličini. En: It was late October, when nature by the lake was showing itself in all its grandeur. Sl: Tomaž, njen mlajši brat, se je navdušeno sprehajal ob obali. En: Tomaž, her younger brother, was eagerly walking along the shore. Sl: Matej, Nežin zvest prijatelj, ju je spremljal in pazil, da se Tomažu karkoli ne bi zgodilo. En: Matej, Neža's loyal friend, accompanied them, making sure nothing happened to Tomaž. Sl: Neža je poistovetila svoj fotoaparat in ga obrnila k gradu, ki je kraljeval na pečini. En: Neža adjusted her camera and pointed it at the castle, reigning on the cliff. Sl: "Matej, pazi na Tomaža," je rekla, medtem ko je iskala pravi kot za fotografijo. En: "Matej, watch Tomaž," she said while searching for the right angle for the photo. Sl: V tistem trenutku je Tomaž ugriznil v nekaj, kar je očitno vzelo njegov dih. En: At that moment, Tomaž bit into something that obviously took his breath away. Sl: Njegov obraz je začel zatekati in oči so se mu zasolzile. En: His face started to swell, and his eyes welled with tears. Sl: Matej je takoj priskočil k njemu. En: Matej immediately rushed to him. Sl: "To je alergijska reakcija! En: "It's an allergic reaction!" Sl: " je zavpil, trenutek pred njim pa je bil cel svet. En: he shouted, with the whole world ahead of him. Sl: Neži je srce divje razbijalo. En: Neža's heart was pounding wildly. Sl: Bala se je teh situacij, a vedela je, da mora ohraniti mir. En: She feared such situations, but she knew she had to stay calm. Sl: "Sledim ti, Matej," je rekla, glas ji je bil slaboten, a odločen. En: "I'm with you, Matej," she said, her voice weak but determined. Sl: Matej je hitel po torbo z zdravili, ki jo je vedno imel s sabo. En: Matej hurried to get his bag with medicine, which he always carried with him. Sl: "Neža, pazi ga, medtem ko poiščem škatlico. En: "Neža, watch him while I find the box." Sl: " Neža je sledila Matejevim navodilom in držala brata v naročju. En: Neža followed Matej's instructions and held her brother in her arms. Sl: Strah jo je hromil, a občutila je novo moč, ki ji je pritekala skozi žile. En: Fear paralyzed her, but she felt new strength flowing through her veins. Sl: Ko je Matej hitro našel zdravilo, je začel Tomaža oskrbovati. En: When Matej quickly found the medicine, he began attending to Tomaž. Sl: "Neža, pokliči reševalce," ji je rekel, in njen um je prestavil v višjo prestavo. En: "Neža, call the paramedics," he told her, and her mind shifted into high gear. Sl: Njene roke so drhtele, ko je segla po telefon. En: Her hands trembled as she reached for her phone. Sl: Uspela je poklicati, medtem ko je ves čas šepetala Tomažu: "Vse bo v redu, brat. En: She managed to call, all the while whispering to Tomaž, "Everything will be okay, brother." Sl: "Zvok siren je prelomil spokojno tišino ob jezeru. En: The sound of sirens broke the serene silence by the lake. Sl: Reševalci so prispeli, Tomaža so hitro stabilizirali, in po nekaj minutah je že sedel z nasmehom, ki je kazal olajšanje na njegovem obrazu. En: The paramedics arrived, quickly stabilized Tomaž, and after a few minutes, he was sitting with a smile of relief on his face. Sl: Ko so se reševalci odpeljali, je Neža globoko vdihnila in se ozrla po pokrajini. En: As the paramedics drove away, Neža took a deep breath and looked around the landscape. Sl: "Hvala, Matej," mu je rekla s toplim nasmehom. En: "Thank you, Matej," she said with a warm smile. Sl: "Naučila sem se zaupati in ohraniti mir. En: "I learned to trust and keep calm." Sl: "Matej ji je pokimal. En: Matej nodded to her. Sl: "Pravi tim smo," je odgovoril. En: "We make a great team," he replied. Sl: Tomaž je veselo pristavil: "Nikoli več ne bom jedel, ne da bi bil prepričan, da je varno! En: Tomaž cheerfully added, "I'll never eat again without being sure it's safe!" Sl: "Neža je še enkrat vzela fotoaparat in posnela čudovit posnetek blejskega jezera, zdaj obarvanega z jesensko svetlobo. En: Neža once again picked up her camera and took a beautiful shot of blejsko jezero, now colored by the autumn light. Sl: Medtem ko so sedeli na obali, je čutila, da je kljub temu, da so se stvari vrtele okoli Tomaža, tudi ona nekaj zmagala. En: As they sat by the shore, she felt that even though things had revolved around Tomaž, she
